No, well okay. Yes :lol:  :lol:

It was just a means of retaining rear recovery/towing without having to haul the slider & 'Pinball-Wizard' around with me, as it's substantial bit of kit.
I don't really want to leave it permantly in situ, as I'm sure 'it'll get off & walk away at some point', if left :roll:

I thought that fitting a loop would avoid that situation

Skywalker:
Too true, and in fairness you've already mentioned that ............... sorry, not paying enough attention  :oops: ...............  :D  :D  :D

 :idea:  Why not simply use a shackle through one of the pre drilled holes in the towbar frame

"Pay Attention 00", erm (where was I??)

I know that's an option & the frame is probably strong enough, but it's putting strain on one side unless you shackle on to both sides?

I suppose I'll just buy a pin-hitch & keep it on the spare slider under the rear seat

Eureka!!
I have it!!! (better see a Doctor then?)
UNLESS..........................
I get a BIG shackle & use the slider-pin to replace the shackle pin & do it that way??
It'll have to be a big shackle to fit snugly & avoid bending the pin in situ.

Thanks for the nudge in the right direction Dave,  I did have a 7tomn(?) laying about at the old house (Sods Law, I've thrown it away)

Skywalker:
being slightly off centre is unlikely to be a major problem .........  however I like things to be tidy as well.

How about

2 shackles - (1 each side), short tree strop (or similar) as a bridle + tow strop  .............  problem solved ..........   8)  ...  Bob's yer uncle ...........  etc
